Hello readers! In this tutorial, we feature an example on how to convert a Char Array to String in Java. We will learn different ways of this conversion. Meanwhile, you can also check the String to Char Array Example.
1. Introduction
Java programming offers possible ways to convert a character array (char []) to String. A new String is allocated that represents the sequence of characters contained in the char array. There are three ways to perform this conversion in Java i.e.
- Using String object
- Using
valueOf()orcopyValueOf()method - Using a StringBuilder object
To start with the captioned tutorial, we are hoping that users at present have their preferred Ide installed on their machines. For easy usage, I am using Eclipse Ide on a Windows operating system.
2. Char Array to String Java Example
In this example, we’ll demonstrate the above-mentioned ways to perform the character array to String conversion. For a better understanding, developers can execute the below code in Eclipse Ide.
2.1 Char Array to String Java Conversion
Let us understand this with the help of a simple code snippet.
CharArrayToStringExample
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 | package com.java.basics;// Class to demonstrate the Char Array to String conversion public class CharArrayToStringExample { public static void main(String[] args) { // Initializing a sample character array. char[] charArray = { 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd', '!' }; // Approach #1- Using the String object to pass "char array" into the constructor. String strObject = new String(charArray); System.out.println(strObject); System.out.println("\n"); // Approach #2 - Using the "valueOf()" or "copyValueOf()" method. String strValueOf = String.valueOf(charArray); // String.copyValueOf(charArray); System.out.println(strValueOf); System.out.println("\n"); // Approach #3 - Using the StringBuilder object. // We'll perform iteration on char array and append it to the StringBuilder and call "toString()" method // to print the value. StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(); for(char c : charArray) builder.append(c); System.out.println(builder.toString()); }} |
If everything goes well, the following output will be printed in the Ide console.
Output
1 2 3 4 5 | hello world!hello world!hello world! |
That is all for this tutorial and I hope the article served you whatever you were looking for. Happy Learning and do not forget to share!
